Broker Summary
What Wikilix has recorded about CoinUnited: its history, the licences it holds, its trading conditions and its fees.
CoinUnited.io Broker Overview
CoinUnited.io is a high leverage trading platform built around USDT settled derivatives rather than a conventional forex account, operating under this brand since 2020. Its own beginners guide advertises around 19,000 markets covering cryptocurrency, stocks, forex, indices, metals and energy, with leverage of up to 2,000x, alongside staking and bonus promotions. Trading runs on the platform's own web software and mobile app, and accounts are funded in cryptocurrency or in more than 50 fiat currencies. The operating company is named as CoinUnited Limited, and no financial licence is held on record for the brand.
CoinUnited.io Regulation and License
No financial regulator, licence number or licence category is recorded for CoinUnited.io, and the platform's own help centre names none. Its beginners guide describes the service as having global regulation, but that wording is not tied to any named authority, jurisdiction or licence number anywhere in the material the platform publishes for clients.
The company behind the brand is named as CoinUnited Limited. No registration number, jurisdiction or incorporation date is recorded for that company, and as at 17 October 2026 no corporate registry entry had been matched to it. A company registration would in any case establish only that a company exists. It is not financial regulation, and it does not authorise anyone to hold client money.
Is CoinUnited.io Regulated?
There is no confirmed financial regulation for CoinUnited.io. Nothing on record identifies an authority that supervises the platform, and the platform publishes no licence number of its own. Its reference to global regulation is not supported by a named authority or a licence, and without one a client has no statutory complaints route and no compensation scheme behind the account.
CoinUnited.io Account Types
One retail account tier is on record, with a minimum deposit of 50 US dollars and zero trading fees on spot markets. Minimum cryptocurrency deposits are set per coin and per blockchain network rather than as a single figure, and the platform displays the applicable amount at the point of deposit. Corporate accounts are also offered, and applicants are asked to submit a certificate of incorporation, registers of shareholders and directors, a certified organisational chart, certified identification and proof of address for every director and ultimate beneficiary, and a board resolution.
CoinUnited.io Spreads, Commissions and Fees
Spot trading is advertised at zero trading fees. USDT margined contracts are charged on a maker and taker model with tiered rates that the platform publishes on its own trading fees page rather than in its help centre, so the zero headline describes the lowest tier and not every trade. Cryptocurrency deposits are free. Withdrawal costs are blockchain network fees, which the platform states are paid to miners or validators rather than retained, and they move with network conditions, so the amount is only shown during the withdrawal itself. The help centre also documents margin borrow rates for spot margin trading, and overnight and weekend margin on CFD positions.
CoinUnited.io Leverage
Leverage reaches up to 2,000x according to the platform's own beginners guide, and it is set by the client rather than fixed by the account tier, being adjustable both in the app and on the web platform. The platform states that the higher the leverage selected, the smaller the maximum position size it will allow.
CoinUnited.io Trading Platforms
CoinUnited.io runs its own trading software. There is a browser based web platform, an Android app distributed as an APK from the platform's own download page, and an installable web app that iOS users add to the home screen from Safari. Order entry, account leverage and trading history are available on both the app and the web platform.
CoinUnited.io Deposits and Withdrawals
Funding is available in cryptocurrency and in fiat. Cryptocurrency deposits and withdrawals span a range of coins and networks, with BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC and SOL among them. Fiat deposits are accepted in more than 50 currencies, including US dollars, euros, sterling, Hong Kong dollars and Australian dollars, by bank transfer, and Visa and Mastercard cards can be used to buy cryptocurrency directly. Withdrawal by card is not documented, so a client funding by card should expect to withdraw by another route.
Each withdrawal has a minimum that varies by coin and by network, and the network has to be selected to match the destination address. The platform warns that selecting a network that does not match the receiving address results in the loss of the funds.
CoinUnited.io Support
Support runs through the help centre at , which carries a chatbot and a ticketing system and is published in English and a wide range of other languages. The published contact points are cs@coinunited.io for client support, media@coinunited.io for general enquiries and legal@coinunited.io for complaints, with a telephone number of +852 9885 0246 and a contact address at Shop 201, V POINT, 18 Tang Lung Street, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong. The platform does not publish the hours its support is staffed.
CoinUnited.io Pros and Cons
- Unusually wide market coverage from a single balance, with crypto perpetuals and CFDs on equities, forex, indices, metals and energy all settled in USDT.
- Zero trading fees on spot markets and free cryptocurrency deposits.
- Funding in cryptocurrency or in more than 50 fiat currencies, with the platform's own web and mobile software.
- No confirmed financial regulation and no named supervising authority.
- No registration number or jurisdiction on record for the operating company.
- Leverage of up to 2,000x, which enlarges losses to the same degree as gains.
- Contract fee tiers and withdrawal costs are not published as fixed figures, so the cost of a trade is visible only in the interface.
CoinUnited.io Review and Assessment
CoinUnited.io is best read as a high leverage crypto derivatives venue that has extended into CFDs on traditional markets, with a broad instrument list, low headline trading costs and a well maintained help centre behind it. What it does not have is an identified regulator. The operating company is named as CoinUnited Limited, with no registration number, jurisdiction or matched registry entry on record as at 17 October 2026, and the only reference to oversight the platform makes of itself is an unsupported description of global regulation. The practical consequence for anyone considering an account is that the money sits with an unsupervised counterparty at leverage of up to 2,000x, so the first thing to establish before depositing is which legal entity the counterparty is and which authority, if any, a client could complain to.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about CoinUnited
Yes, by submitting company documents through the platform's ticketing system. The platform asks for a certificate of incorporation, registers of shareholders and directors, a certified organisational chart, certified identification and proof of address for every director and ultimate beneficiary, and a board resolution authorising the account. There is no self service corporate signup.
Yes. The platform offers flexible staking, fixed term staking and a dual investment product, each documented in its help centre. Its beginners guide advertises staking returns of up to 125% APY, which is a headline rate on particular products rather than a rate on an ordinary balance.
The platform advertises instant withdrawals and publishes no processing time guarantee. A crypto withdrawal still has to confirm on the blockchain network chosen, and the platform notes that network congestion can change both the fee and the minimum without notice. Verification and compliance checks can also delay a withdrawal.
The operating company on record is named as CoinUnited Limited. No registration number, jurisdiction or incorporation date is recorded for it, and as at 17 October 2026 no corporate registry entry had been matched to the name. The platform's own client facing pages do not name the company that holds client funds.
Crypto perpetual contracts and CFDs on traditional markets, all collateralised and settled in USDT from a single balance. The CFD side covers stocks, indices, forex, metals and energy, and neither product type has an expiry date. The platform's beginners guide advertises around 19,000 markets in total.
Spot trading is advertised at zero trading fees. USDT margined contracts are charged on a maker and taker basis with tiered rates, published on the platform's own trading fees page, so the zero headline describes the cheapest tier rather than every trade. Margin borrow rates apply to spot margin positions, and overnight and weekend margin applies to CFDs.
The retail account on record carries a minimum deposit of 50 US dollars. For cryptocurrency there is no single figure: the minimum is set per coin and per blockchain network, and the platform displays the amount that applies when you open the deposit screen. A deposit below the minimum is held rather than credited, and it is credited only once further deposits bring the total up to the threshold within the stated timeframe.
Yes, through a help centre that carries a chatbot and a ticketing system, published in English and a wide range of other languages. The contact points are cs@coinunited.io for client support, media@coinunited.io for general enquiries and legal@coinunited.io for complaints, with a telephone number of +852 9885 0246. The platform does not publish the hours its support is staffed.
Up to 2,000x, according to the platform's own beginners guide. Leverage is set by the client rather than fixed by the account, and it can be adjusted in the app or on the web platform. The platform states that the higher the leverage selected, the smaller the maximum position size it allows.
Deposits are accepted in cryptocurrency and in more than 50 fiat currencies. Crypto deposits are free and cover coins such as BTC, ETH, USDT, USDC and SOL, fiat arrives by bank transfer, and Visa and Mastercard can be used to buy crypto directly. Withdrawals are made in cryptocurrency, with a minimum and a network fee that both vary by coin and by blockchain network and are shown during the withdrawal itself. Withdrawal by card is not documented, so card funding is a one way route.
CoinUnited.io trades on its own software. There is a browser based web platform and a mobile app: Android is offered as an APK from the platform's own download page, and iOS users install a web app to the home screen from Safari. Order entry, account leverage and trading history are available on both the app and the web platform.
There is no confirmed financial regulation for CoinUnited.io. No regulator, licence number or jurisdiction is recorded for the platform and its own help centre names none, although its beginners guide does describe the service as having global regulation. Without a named authority there is no statutory complaints route and no compensation scheme behind an account, which is the main risk to weigh against the platform's low headline fees.
